To all @072 cm "it may concern:

Be it known thatl, HERMAN P. Moon- REES, citizen of the United States, and resident of Weehawken, in the county of lludson 5 and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Type- Writin Machines, of which the following is a s ecification.

'Fhis invention relates to improvements in tabulating mechanism of typewriting machines and it consists of the features of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts which are hereinafter described and specified iii the appended claims.

On the accoi'npanying sheets of drawings on which like reference numerals designat like parts in the different views, F igure 1 is a side and sectional elevation of mechanism forming part of a Monarch typewriting machine in which the invention is embodied; Fig. 2, a front elevation of a fragment of a frame including a portion of the right front post; Fig. 3, a rear and sectional elevation of said 1118(lli1l'1i81i1, some of the parts being shown broken; Fig. 4, a side elevation, on an enlarged scale, of devices shown in Fig. i at the back and upper part of the machine, one of these being a denominational stop-device; Fig. 5, a rear elevation,

partly sectional, of this stop-device and certain other parts and fragments of parts of the machine; Fig. 6, a perspective of this stop device; Fig. 7, a plan thereof; and Fig. 8, a broken side elevation and vertical section of parts in operation, these parts being shown in Fig. 4111 their normal positions.

Although the invention is shown as it appears when embodicd'in a Monarch type writing machine, it is to he understood that 40 it may he appplicd to ti pcwriting machines of various forms.

Parts of the ivlonarch machine which are Well known and which are shown, or partly shown, in the drawings, are the frameof the machine, the platen and platen carriage, tlic step-by-stp feed mechanism, the column stop bar with column stops thereon. the tab- ,ulator key with the parts operative thereby to turn the column slop bar on its aiis, and

the carriage release lever and rack lifting device also operative by the tabulator. key.

The frame of the machinc-con-ipriscs a base 1, posts 2 and a top plate 3. (hi and near the rear of the top plate two standards 1 are I ailixed and to these standards grooved guide rails 5 and 6 are attached by means of screws 7 and 8, the. length or" these guide rails being about equal to the width of the top plate. The platen frame or carriage 9, in which the platen 10 is mounted, has formed on it at the back of the carriage, grooved guides 11 and i2, and between the rail 5 and the guide 11 and between the rail 6 and the guide 12 are anti-friction balls 13 and 14 respectively.

The carriage and platen are supported by 66 the standards 4 to which the carriage is con iiectcd by means of the grooved rails and guides and the anti-friction balls described, the platen and platcn-carriagc being movahlc back and forth over the top plate of the 70 machine. 011 the inner face of each end of the platen frame or carriage an arm 15 is pivoted by a pin 16, these arms extending backward from their pivots between the guides 11 and 12, and to the rear ends of these arms is attached a feed rack 17. Springs its bearing on the arms 15 tend to kcep tliesc arms and the feed rack in their normal positions as they are shown in Figs.

1 and 3 of the drawings. The rack 17,110r- 8O mally engages a feed pinion it} which is mounted on a shaft 20, this shaft having a bearing in a block or standard 2] which is fast on the top plate of the machine, and on the shaft 20.:md opcrativcly connected thereto in the usual manner is an csca'pcnicnt wheel 22. Feed dogs 23 and 24 which co-act with the cscapcment wheel are mounted on i .2 i an arm 25 of a dog rocker, said arm extending upward from a rock shaft 26 which has hearings in a bracket 27, this bracket being aflixcd to and extending downward from the top plate of the machine.

()n the rock shaft 26 is a coilspring 28 which tends to keep the arm 25 in the position in which it is shown in Fig. 1, the stopping dog 23 then being engaged with the esci'ipemcnt wheel An arm 29 which is fast. on the rock shaft 26 and extends forward the. spacing key or a type actuating key is depressed the arm 25 is rocked forward and when the key is released this arm is restored.

therefrom, is connected in the usual manner l by a. 'llllli 30 with a universal bar (not shown), l

mcchai'iism just described is such that when 10 to its normal position .hy the action or" the spring 28, whereupon the earrings moves a letter scace distance toward the left. The

carriage is drawn toward the left, whenever the dog rocker is actuated. as described, by

the action of a spring drum 31 which is connected by e, strap 32 with a stud fixed to and projecting downward from the platen carriage near its right end.

Arms 34 are formed on the standards l, these arms extending backward from the up per ends of the standards, and at the rear ends ofthc arms are bearings in which a col umn stop bar 35 is mounted, a column stop or column stops 36 being secured on this bar by means which renders said stop or stops adjustable along the bar. The stop bar 35 extends thro igh the rightarm as, and on the end of the her near this arm is a crank arm 37' which is fast on the stop bar. A. rod 38 is pivoted to the crank arm 37 and extends downward therefrom through the top plate into the base 1 of the frame. A collar 39 is fixed on the rod 38 below and near the top plate and on this collar is a projection 40. A coil spring 41, which rrounds the rod bears at its upper and lower ends respectively against the collar and the part of the base of the-frame and. tends to keep the rod. 38, arm 37 "and the column stop bar and stops described, in the positions in which they are shown in Figs. 1 ends. The rod 38 pivoted at its lower end to a lever 43-, whose fulcrum is a screw which extends through the lever into a projection 45 formed on the base oi the frame, this lever having on it an ear 46 in which is a slot 47. A key lever 48 is pivoted by a pin 49 to a lug 50 which is fast on the base of the frame, and on this lever is fixed a pin 51 which extends through the slot d7 in the lever 43,

i The key lever 484$ provided with a finger button or lrey 52 and normally rests near its front end against a pad 53.

A lever having arms and ispivoted by a screw 56 to a lug 57 formed on the under side of thetop late 3, the arm of this lever extending under the projection 40 of the collar, 39 and having on it a stop 58 which normally rests against the under side ofthc top plate. The left arm (as viewed. from the front of the machine) of this lever is pivoted to the lower end'of a rack-lifting device 60 which extends upward from the lever on opposite sides of the bearing 21 of the shaft 20, and has at its upper end horizontal portions 61 which rose normally under and near the feed rack 17 The key lever 48, when the linger button .52 is depressed, operates as does the ordinary tabulator key lever oi the Monarch machine to turn the stop bar on its axis so that the stop lug 62 of each column stop 36 moved downward, while the carriage is at rest, into the path of a cooperative stop which travels heretofore been applied to the Monarch machine comprises a stop which is fast on the platen carriage, and which is movable thereby into contact with the stop lug .62 of a column stop 36, when the stop bar has been turned as described by means of the,

tabulator key 'lhe mechanism in which this invention is embodied comprises a stop device which is cooperative with each of the column stops 36, and which takes the place of and performs the function of the stop above mentioned, which has heretofore been aflixed to the carriage of the machine. The stop device heroin shown also cooperates ina peculiar way \iith each of the column stops 36 to produce additional results as will herein after more clearly appear.

This device consists of a part or arm 63 having one end an eye 64, and of a curved part or head 65 formed on the arm 63 and included between cylindrical surfaces hose common axis is that of the eye,64. On the head 65, along its upper and front edge, is formed a series of notches having vertical faces as well as faces which lie in planes containing the axis of the eye 64, thc'planes containing said vertical faces being perpendicular to the axis of the eye.

The vertical faces of-these notches constitute denominational stop-facets 66, 67, 68,

(it), 7!), 71, 72 and 73, the distance from one ol said stop-facets to the next being a letter spa-co distance. Although eight of .such doimminational stop-facets are shown it should be understood that a diilerent number may be provided if desired. stop-facet 73 is also formed on the head of this device, its plane being parallel to the planes of the denominational stop-facets. liibs 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79 and 80 arcalso formed on the head 65 of this'stop device, the lel't lace (ii-each rib, the device is viewed from the front of the machine, being in the plum oi one of the stop-Moots, and the upper or front ends ol' those ribs being even with those [arcs of the al'drcsaid notches which are in planes containing the llXls of tho eye 64. lbo upper surface S1 of the head 35 and the upper or convex edges oi the ribs formed on the head are ar1.s oi a cylindrical surface \t'hoso axis A column hollowhub which extends through the l fast in thel coincides with that of the eye 64, and the surface 82 and the bottoms of the grooves between said ribs, as well as the bottom of the groove 81 and the surface 74 next to the rib 74,- are parts of a smaller cylindrical surface having the same axis. [his stop device is mounted on a rock shaft 83 which has hearings in the standards 4, the shaft passing throughv the eye 64 of the stop device. This eye is confined between lugs 84 and 85 formed on a bracket 86v which is fast on the platen carriage and the shaft 83 extends through these, lugs and is loose therein. In this shaft is a groove 87 which extends from end to end thereof, and in the arm 63 of the stop device is a spline 88 which fits in the groove 87 and by means of which the sto' device is'so engaged with the shaft that when the shaft is turned on its axis theistop device will be turned with it. This device is so mounted on the shaft that the stop facets and the .left faces of the ribs above mentioned are in planes which are at right angles to the axis of the platen, and the device is movable by the carriage towards the sides ofthe machine along the shaft 83, the spline SS being loose enough in the groove 37 to enable the stop device to be easily moved by the carriage.

To the lug 84 of the bracket 86 is attached" a clutch member 89 which has ratcl'ict clutch teeth thereon, this clutch member having a ug 34, the shaft 8;) and is made 11 by means of a set screw 90. Another clutcli member 91 is attached to the stem 63 of the stop device described, this loosely surrounding vmember having ratchet teeth which are adapted to engage with the teeth of'thc other member. coil spring 92 surrounds the shaft 83,0ne end of this spring being in a recess in the log 85 of the bracket 86. 'l'his spring resses against the right face (as viewed rom the front of the nmchinc) of the eye 64 of the stop device and tends to Keep the members-of the clutch in engagcmrmt with each other.

a The arrangement of the rod 83, the stop device mounted thereon, and the column stops36, is such that when the stops 30 are in their normal positions the lugs 62 of thcsc sto s are then further from the aXis of the I()( 83 than are the surface and the bottoms of the grooves between the ribs on the head of said stop-device, and the lower front corners of these lugs are then i'icarer to said axis than is the cylindrical surface which contains the-upper edges of said ribs, and the front ends of these lugs are then behind the plane which contains the axis of the rod 82 and the lower and rear ends of said ribs, and

above and in front of the plane which contains said axis and the rear edge of the Sli!'-- face 82, and that when the stops 36 are in their operative positions the front edges of the lugs 62 are nearer to the axis of the rod 83 than are the surface 82 and the bottoms of the grooves between said ribs.

' On the end 93 of the shaft 83 is a crank arm 94 which is fast on the shaft and to which is pivoted a rod 95. This rod extends downward throu h the top plate and through the part 42 of t io base of the frame, and fast on the rod between the top plate and the base a block 96 having on it pivot pins or godgeons 07. A coil spring 98, surrounding the rod 95 and hearing at its upper and lower ends respectively against the block 90 of the base of the machine, tends to keep the rod 95, the shaft 83 and the stop device described, in the relative positions in which they are shown in Figs. 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the drawings. A hanger 99 is fastened to the top plate near its right edge and extends downward therefrom, and to this hanger at its lower end is pivoted by a-shouldered screw 100 a lover and an actuating, device, the lever having arms 101 and 102 and the actuating device 103 being slotted and extending on both sides of the lever around their common pivotal-axis and thence directly under the arm 10]. of the lever to and past the front end of the lever. In the arm l0] of the lever is a screw 104 which is arranged to make contact with the upper edge of the device 103 when this device and the lever arc in the positions in which they are shownin Fig. 1. The arm it)? of this lever is forlrcd at its rear end and extends on opposite sides of the blocl; 00, the gudgcons 97 of this blot-f passing through slots .105 in the'levcr. This lever and the device 103 both extend through a slot 106 in a plate 107 which is attached to the front posts of the machine frame. A l nob 108 is attirchcd'to or formed on the lever at its front end, this knob being both a finger piece and a pointer; the pointer cooperating with a dcnoininational scale on the p ate 107. A linger piece W0 is formed on or attached to the front end of the actuating device 103, the relations of thc l nob 10S and linger piece .00 being as they are shown in Fig. i, when the lover and the actuating device are in their normal positions. The denomination scale shown in Fig 2 of the drawings and there 'lIHiH-(Kl IMJ, ll'l., IO'I 'l, 100, "10", 1, is formed on the plate 107 and next to oncedgc and above the slot 106. An upright rod Il0'is received in an opcninp; in and is guided by lugs 11] formed on or attached to the front and right post of the frame, the rod being movable up and down through thcsc lugs. The rod is normally held in the position in which it is shown in Pig. 1 by a coil spring i 12 which bears at its lower end against the lower lug; ill and at its upper end against the collar 113 fast on the rod, the collarhearing against the upper lug ill to limit the upward mov nrent o tho rod. On this red below the lower lug 111 is a collar 114 from which a pin 115 extends under thev actuating device 103, this collar being fast on the rod. This rod is bent near its lower end so that it extends to the left of the associated corner post 2 and over the key lever 48, the part 1 16 of the rod being directly 'over and a short distance above the lever 4-8 "brought into the path of the stopfacet 73 and the carriage is released from the escapement mechanism by the action of the rack lifting device on the feed rack 17, this device being raised by the downward pressure of i the projection .40 on the arm 54 of the lever 5455. The carriageis then drawn to theleft by the spring drum 31, the stop device on the shaft 83 being moved along this shaft by the carriage until the stop-facet 7 3' contacts with the first column stop36 and the eye 64- of the stop device mounted on the shaft 83 is forced against the tension of its spring 92 and into contact with the lug 85 of the bracket 86, whereupon the-carriage is arrestedi The effect of moving the stop de vice against the tension of the spring 92 is to disengage the clutch members 89 and 91" which disengagement occurs when the car-.

riage is arrestedv by the tabulating nrcchanism and through the impact of the tabulating stops. Then, when the tabulator key 52 is released this key and the parts actuated thereby, including the column stops 36 and-the carriage release mechanism are returned to their normal positions, so i hat the carriage is restored to the control of the stepby-step feed mechanism and the column stops are withdrawn from the path of the stop-facet 73. The coil spring 92 then forces the stop device along the shaft 83 to the left until the clutch member )1 is brought into contact and in engagement with the clutch member S9. When the key lever 48 is actuated as described by depressing the key 52 no angular movement is imparted to the stop device mounted on the shaft 83, the kcy lever 48 hcing mmxable from the part 110 of the rod 1 10 without affecting the posi tion of thisrod or that of the lever 101- -l02, or the position of any of the parts of the mechanism which connects this lever with the shaft 8; ll, however, it-is desired to arrest the carriage a. a iienominational position the finger piece or key of the actuating device 102% is grasped by the operator, his finger preferably being placed at the same time on the knob 1051 of the lever 101 102,' the front ends of the actuating device and lever are raised until the pointer 108 is even with the scale mark indicating the desired denominational position and theii' the key 109 is depressed to the lowest limit of itsmovement independently of the lever 101%}102,

so that the actuating device 103 is brdught 6 into contact with the pin 115 on the'collar 114 and the rod is moved downward by the action of the device 103 on the pin" a 115 and the front end 'of the lever 48 is depressed by the part 116 of the rod 110.- With 75 the upward movement of theflfront end of the lever 101 102 as described the block 96 on the rod 95 is forced downward by'the rear end of the lever, and'this rod acting through i the crank arm 94 and'shaft 83 on the 'denomig 7 As the denominational stop device is turned as described the sloping faces of the ratchet teeth on the clutch member 91 are moved backward with the stop device over the sloping faces of the ratchet teeth of the other clutch membenand when the stop device reaches the end of the movement imparted to it by actuating the key lever as described the straight faces of the clutch mem- 95 ber 91 engage with the corresponding faces of the teeth of the other clutch. member and lock the denominational stop device in the position to which it has been turned. By

means of the action of this clutch or look on 100 the shaft 83 and on the key lever 10l.,1.02 through the crank arm 94 and link 95 the front end of the denominational key lever -jlsheld in its elevated position whenithe key 100 of the actuating device is depressed as above described- With the downward movement of the rod 110 the key lever 48 acting through the lever 43 and rod 38 turns the column stops to their operative positions and at the same time automatically releases the 110 carriage from the control of the escapement; through an actuationof the lever 5455.; 'lhereupon the carriage is drawn to the left;

by the spring drum 31 until the denomina-Z tional stop-facet which'is in alinernent with;

the lugs 62 of the column stops is brought into contact with the lug of the first colum'n' stop and the denominationalstop device is forced to the right and against the lug 85 of the bracket 86, the carriage being arrested 139 when the eye ()4 of the denominational stop device strikes the lug 85 of the bracket. The key 100 of the actuating device is then released, whereupon the feed rack of the carriageis rte-connected with the feed pinion 19 and the column stops 36 are restored to their normal positions by the action of gravity and 'the restoring springs 18 and 41, the rod 110 and the-actuating device 103 being restored to their normal positions by the spring 112.

oper- 85 The clutch member 91 is forced out of engage ment with the other clutch member as the denominational stop device is moved back to the lug 85 by the action on it of the column stop as above described, and so long as the key 109 of the actuating device is held depressed, the lug 62 of the column stop, then extending over the denominational stop device, as represented in Fig. 8, prevents this device from turning, but when-th released the denominational stop device is turned back to its proper position by the upward action of the spring 98 on the block 96 affixed to the rod-95. While the denominational stop device is being thus moved by the spring 98, the spring 92 is prevented from forcing this device-to the left along the shaft 83, by the action on the lug 62 of one oi the ribs above described, or of that part of the head 65 which forms the right sideoi' the groove 81 and Which is practically a rib. The rib whose face is in the plane of the denominational stop-facet with which the column stop co-acted bears against the right side of the lug 62 as the denominational stop device is turned backward, until the shaft E53 is restored to its normal position.

stop device then pass out of alincment with the lug 62 of the engaged column stop and the denominational stop device is forced to the left by the spring 92 and the members ol the clutch are rengaged with each other.

It Will be observed that when the parts ol the tabulating mechanismdescribed are in their normal positions the carriage'may be,

ticular form shown and specifically described herein.
